Star Ocean limited edition PSP system revealed {PSP Fanboy}
Nov 4th 2007 2:48PM Nothing wrong with a December 27 release date. Those who received cold hard cash for Christmas could buy it for themselves. :D
Apple says Cisco lawsuit is "silly" {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2007 4:10PM Considering that Apple went after companies with the word "pod" in their products, this is really hypocritical of them.
PSP firmware 3.0 out in the wild {Engadget}
Nov 21st 2006 2:12PM >Is it worth to mess around with the PSP hacks that are out there today?
For me yes. Several of these said "hacks" add functionality to the PSP. Besides, not all "hacks" messes with the PSP's firmware. Most are actually just applications that you can run on your PSP. Kind of like being able to run programs on your PC. My PSP still has the original 1.50 firmware that came with it on release date (US).
For those who have already installed firmware 3.00 on their PSPs, is it true that you can play full resolution (480x272) videos now? And for those who have both a PS3 and a PSP w/fw3.00, any updates on the PSOne emu front?
DIY "adapter" for Memory Stick PRO Duo cards {Engadget}
Aug 30th 2006 5:40PM >hey steve, i agree, cf is the perfect size, or sd cards
Aren't SD cards roughly the same size as Pro Duos? I saw them displayed side by side in Office Depot and there seems to be no significant difference in size.
PSP firmwares 2.0 - 2.80 hacked for homebrew {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2006 7:56PM >If Sony is so afraid of people bootlegging PSP games, all they need to do is make a new memory stick storage format that will only work with PSP, which has a hidden partition for games that is only readable by a PSP. That partition can be used for storing what's on UMDs today.
'Ya really think that's gonna stop people? The UMD can only be read by one publicly available device - the PSP. Yet there's an ISO download for probably every commercially released PSP game.
Let's see, functionality added by homebrew programs to the PSP... There's a file manager, pdf/ebook viewers, NES/SNES/GB emulators (lol), ShoutCast/IceCast support, and streaming video. Granted, I bought my PSP for on the go gaming but the selection of games leaves much to be desired so for now, my PSP's keeping me entertained with fanfic reading using Bookr. Tekken and Bleach 3 (which are relatively recent releases) are pretty addicting so those are keeping me entertained, too, when they're not with my brother.
The IBM PC turns 25: Engadget's first PCs {Engadget}
Aug 12th 2006 5:03PM My first PC was a 486DX (forgot the clockspeed), 4MB RAM, a massive 500MB hard drive and a color monitor which blew up in my mom's face. Well not exactly blew up but it was emitting sparks and there was a small explosion sound. It was running DOS (of course) and it had Windows 3.1 installed. Ah, I remember the hours spent playing Trog, Dune II, Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island. Good ol' days. Hmm, not factoring in inflation, that PC is more expensive than any of the PCs I've bought in the past 5 years.
